| Good afternoon all, I'm in desperate need of help. I have a textbox with the text: "20-AUG-09", I would like to insert this into a datetime field. But it turns into '000:00:00:' so it is not working properly. I do not know how to convert it properly. Personally, I would rather just change the datatype in the db to string, but my boss will not allow me:-)Any assistance is greatly appreciated.Thank you,Rob |

| Thank you Michael! Do I place this within the current insert statement like this? insert into tablename (date) values (select DT=convert(datetime,'20-AUG-09')) |

| If the datatype of date is datetime, insert into tablename (date) values ('20-AUG-09')should work without errorMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
